What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Q-switched or MOPA, and the maker

Q-switched sources mark and engrave metal well. MOPA sources vary pulse width, giving black on anodised aluminium and colour on stainless. Ask the source model and a photo of its serial label.

Field lens against mark size

A bigger field lens covers more area with a larger spot, so small codes lose sharpness. Ask which lens is fitted.

Desktop, cabinet, handheld or online

Online units mark a moving line and need a trigger signal and an encoder. Handheld heads reach large parts.

Code and data handling

Ask whether the software steps serial numbers, reads a file or database, and takes a start signal from your PLC.
